NCTA Networking Opportunities for Spring 2006:

The National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) is planning exhibit booths and informal events in conjunction with professional conferences this spring.

Those unable to attend the conferences are encouraged to visit www.NCTAsia.org. The schedule for the event will follow.
